Your post made me laugh out loud. Doctors seem so surprised when they figure out we have a disease and then are even more surprised when the drugs meant to make the signs and test results of MG "disappear" actually do that.
Yeah, that situation can create a "false negative." What the neuro who diagnosed me said is that there can be people with MG who are clinically really weak who test negative on both a SFEMG and antibodies and some who are not obviously weak who test highly positive. Immunosuppressants suppress the immune system that makes antibodies. Antibiotics get rid of signs of an infection. Ibuprofen gets rid of signs of inflammation. Good grief, is this basic knowledge so hard for some doctors to grasp? ![]() Whatever is going on, I hope it does not affect your care. Annie |
